Pedolini Magnetic Portable Folding Chess Board (Medium / 9.7 Inch, 2 Players, Age 8+)

I bought the extra small as I wanted a little board to carry and play people with as well as to help me study book diagrams by playing them out on a 3D board. Yes, the product Is exactly as described, extra small and travel sized, which is awesome for portability. It fold up to fit in your pocket and visually everything is all good. The product's size becomes a problem however when you need to actually move the pieces with your fingers. The dimensions are so compact that in moving one piece, your fingers will inadvertently push aside the adjacent pieces. At least that's what I discovered, and it's not like have particularly large fingers or anything. I'm a normal adult. The product is fine and the magnetic pieces do their job. The board surface had some light pressure indents in it leading me to believe the surface can easily be marred and scratched if placed in pocket adjacent to hard objects like keys. It's a decent product for the price, but I don't think the extra small was really practically useful. Perhaps a pair of tweezers would be a legitimate solution to the problem I had. I recommend getting a bigger size than I did.

Great travel set. It would be nice if it came with a little bag to put the pieces when they get removed during play.

My son loves these for school plays with friends and love that its magnetic

I bought the extra small size and I have to say it is indeed very small which makes it very convenient whenever I'm studying something on my phone or in a book I can have both of them on the table in front of me without it taking up every bit of space. when folded up with the pieces inside it is just smaller than my phone meaning I can slip it in my pocket easily and take it anywhere. and as it mentions it is indeed magnetic meaniung can flip the board upside down and the pieces won't fall off at all which is also nice. the only gripe I have is that it doesn't come with extra pieces to account for promotion of pawns but it's still very good for the price.

This portable chess set is super small and easy to travel with, but it definitely feels a bit cheap. It’s nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
